Tainted love

Cantante: Marylin Manson

Sometimes I feel I’ve got to Run away
I’ve got to Get away
From the pain that you drive in the heart of me
The love we share
Seems to go nowhere
I’ve lost my lights
I toss and turn I can’t sleep at night

Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I’ll run from you
This tainted love you’ve given
I give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that’s not nearly all
Tainted love
Tainted love

Now I know I’ve got to Run away
I’ve got to Get away
You don’t really want any more from me
To make things right
You need someone to hold you tight
You think love is to pray
But I’m sorry I don’t pray that way

Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I’ll run from you
This tainted love you’ve given
I give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that’s not nearly all
Tainted love
Tainted love

Don’t touch me please
I cannot stand the way you tease
I love you though you hurt me so
Now I’m going to pack my things and go
Touch me baby, tainted love
Touch me baby, tainted love
Touch me baby, tainted love
*Touch me baby, tainted love*

Once I ran to you (I ran)
Now I’ll run from you
This tainted love you’ve given
I give you all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that’s not nearly all
Tainted love
Tainted love
Tainted love

Grande Marylin! Peccato per il video che sarebbe stato magnifico se fosse stato riprodotto in alta qualità. Le parole nascondono il disagio di questo amore velenoso, bacato, non propriamente salvifico.

E solo a distanza di anni, ho scoperto che era il leit motivo che legava il bastardo a me. E io non sapevo nulla. Incredibile.
